New Years in Vermont

For New Years we went up to Sandgate, Vermont for a two night stay at a house in the Green Mountain National Forest. We went with my longtime friends Suzanne and Caitlin and their husbands Jeremy and Jared. Suzanne had found the rental house online so we weren't sure what to expect, but when we arrived we discovered a beautiful three bedroom secluded bungalow. We were located in the heart of the southern portion of the Green Mountain National Forest...I mean really deep in the woods. Just how we like it!

We spent two nights and three days exploring the woods, making a killer toboggan run in the back yard, snowshoeing, eating a ton of food (mostly cheese balls for the boys), playing card games, board games and charades, and ringing in the New Year as only old friends with lots of funny stories can do. It was a blast. One of the best New Years we've had in a long time.

Happy New Year!!!

2009 certainly was a great year for James and I, but we look forward to a new year that's bound to be filled with challenges and new adventures. We can't wait to see what's in store for us and for you all as well. Happy New Year friends!
